I mentioned in an earlier post that Josh would not be singing at his fund raiser.

Wrong Again…Concert Date
Well, I may have succeeded in making my entry short but evidently I still have the date wrong for the concert…Sorry! I need to just let everyone else handle that and concentrate on my responsibilities. Lately I’ve been doing good to just keep up with all the doctor appts. and get out of bed…haven’t felt […]
Brief update…Really!!
Just wanted to let everyone know that we did stay home from Chicago this week because of Joshua’s sleeping/tiredness issue. We see the physicians assistant tomorrow and are also checking into an a-pap machine as we’re thinking sleep apnea (which he was diagnosed with in Chicago) may be the culprit. The med (Decadron, which hypes […]
New week, new challenges, new blessings!!!

First of many…
I have been writing this since the moment of my diagnosis. I have been unwriting it for just as long. The morning before I suffered the seizure that fractured my spine it began, “I still have cancer.” Four nights ago it began, “I’m wearing on my fingers seventeen bandages.” Tonight I’ll start with someone else’s […]
